Nick and Vanessa Lachey got married on the beaches of Necker Island in 2011, after years of dating.

After they were married, the couple tried unsuccessfully for six months to get pregnant, and Vanessa was ready to call it quits. “Honestly, by mid-December, I resigned myself to the notion that it was not going to be easy for us,” she writes on her new website. “So, I decided that I had to just ‘let go.’”

But then, nature took it’s course anyway. So how did she tell Nick?

“I wanted to look into his eyes when I said, ‘I’m pregnant,’” she shares. “I wanted to feel his hug when he grabbed me with excitement. I wanted to take in the surroundings so that I would always remember the exact moment I told him he was going to be a father.”

Following “the longest night I can remember,” Vanessa began the trek to the Bahamas — a journey that “seemed like an absolute eternity!” — to join Nick. Once she arrived, the expectant star quickly settled in and headed with her husband for a seaside stroll.

“All I kept thinking about was this little life inside of me that WE made. He was growing and we were going to become a family,” she says. “At that moment everything in me felt so right. I was bursting with emotion and wanting to tell Nick the good news.”

Vanessa was finally ready to break the news to the unknowing dad-to-be – a moment she will remember forever. “I took a deep breath, grabbed his hands, looked him in the eyes and told him, ‘I’M PREGNANT!” she writes.

“He looked at me and asked if I was serious. I said yes, we hugged and then he said, ‘I think I have to sit down!’ That was Jan. 6, 2012.”

Now the proud parents of sonCamden John, 4 months, the tight knit trio revisited the same spot where Nick and Vanessa shared the sweet moment exactly one year later, a special anniversary caught on tape.

“We will always have that memory together and now Cam will have one, too,” the new mom shares. ”I took this video that I will embarrass him with in the future, and I’m happy to share a piece of it with you.”

Here he is! The first picture of Camden, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo’s son! Vanessa shared the picture on her Twitter page today, saying “@NickSLachey and I are honored and humbled to introduce you to the new Love of our lives, Camden John Lachey.”

Their son, who was born on Sept. 12, is the first child for the couple, who have been married since July 2011.

The couple welcomed their first child yesterday, a boy they named Camden John Lachey!

“We are incredibly proud to announce the birth of our beautiful baby boy, Camden John Lachey. Born today at 6:54 pm. He came into this world at 8lbs 9oz and 21 inches. Love has truly been redefined for both of us,” they told US Weekly.

The pair tied the knot during a romantic ceremony on Necker Island July 15, 2011. (It was the first marriage for the Wipeout hostess, 31, and the second for Lachey, 38; he was married to Jessica Simpson from 2002 to 2005).

Over the summer, the proud dad opened up to Us about getting ready for his baby boy’s arrival.

“The nursery’s ready, we got the stroller, we got the car seat. Now it’s just emotionally figuring out what we do, and I don’t think that ever ends,” Lachey said. “I’ve assembled a couple strollers at this point and I’m pretty confident. If my brother [Drew Lachey] can handle putting in a car seat, I feel like I have a pretty good chance. If he can do it, anyone can do it!”

A lot has changed for the couple in the past year, Lachey acknowledged. “You get married, you get pregnant, and it all kind of happened so fast,” he told Us. “But it’s very exciting!”
